Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f  a  level  drops  significantly,  have  the  corresponding  system  checked  by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between two  services  (or  oil  changes).  CITROËN Â
r
ecommends  that  you  check  the  level,  and  top Â
u
p  if  necessary,  every  3  000  miles  (5  000  kms).
The
 check  is  carried  out  either  when Â
t

o

p
anel for vehicles with an electric oil
level  gauge,  or  using  the  dipstick.
To  ensure  that  the  reading  is  correct, Â
y
our  vehicle  must  be  parked  on  a  level Â
